Kindle Case


My sister came to visit today and we had quite a time trying to make cases for our Kindles. She told me she was going to bring fabric to work on a project during Grace's afternoon nap. So, after Grace was settled down and sleeping soundly by 1:30 we embarked on a sewing project that was supposed to be done by 3:00 and we sort of finished at 8:15pm. And by sort of I mean although the project looks cute it doesn't really serve it's purpose.

After realizing Laura's original design for the case was a bit too small and a few ideas needed some tweaking we headed to the fabric store to buy more supplies. We returned home, got back to work, entertained Grace, had dinner, put Grace to bed and tweaked our project. After the original design turned out to be a little too small we very carefully measured and fit the Kindle perfectly into the new pouches. Everything was perfect until....THE ZIPPER. The way we added the zipper caused the opening to the case to shorten by about 3/4 of and inch. And the Kindle ceased to fit into the bag. It was unfortunate. Now I just have to find something that I want to read to carry around in my reading case.
